But anyway, it would not be bad to close this thread temporarily until the situation gets better and everyone here cools down, I suggest?

Please let me know if you have opinion. Thanks.

^ Oh... This is not a thread within the sections related to music. Cooling down would be good, but locking down this thread is not a good idea. TBH, this approach shows that you, the conspiracy theorists and/or COVID-19 deniers (or underestimaters) are losing.

Good idea! This isn't prog rock, but it's a song that keeps coming to mind whenever I hear about the COVID panic-demic. Wink

I believe that you don't have much credibility left to say anything more on this subject. You're just another misinformed person who thinks that their opinion matters. It doesn't and never did.

Glad you noticed that. Over 6000 deaths were reported to VAERS. But they only confirmed 3 deaths as actually having been caused by vaccines alone. The others are too tied into pre existing conditions to definitely hold the vaccines responsible. Undiagnosed heart conditions being the leading cause, amongst others.

Who confirmed only 3 deaths? Are you just pulling that number out of your… ? I suspect the actual number to be larger than 7k.

Reported Adverse Events

Updated Aug. 2, 2021

Safety of COVID-19 Vaccines

Some people have no side effects. Many people have reported side effects that may affect their ability to do daily activities, but they should go away within a few days.

Are the Vaccines Safe?

What You Need to Know

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

CDC recommends everyone 12 years and older get vaccinated as soon as possible to help protect against COVID-19 and the related, potentially severe complications that can occur.
CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other federal agencies are monitoring the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
Adverse events described on this page have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon.
VAERS accepts reports of any adverse event following any vaccination.
Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.

Serious adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination are rare but may occur.

For public awareness and in the interest of transparency, CDC is providing timely updates on the following serious adverse events of interest:

Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur after any vaccination. If this occurs, vaccination providers can effectively and immediately treat the reaction. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 vaccination is rare. As of July 26, 2021, more than 13 million doses of the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine have been given in the United States. CDC and FDA identified 39 confirmed reports of people who got the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and later developed TTS. Women younger than 50 years old especially should be aware of the rare but increased risk of this adverse event. There are other COVID-19 vaccine options available for which this risk has not been seen. Learn more about J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS.
- To date, two confirmed cases of TTS following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Moderna) have been reported to VAERS after more than 328 million doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered in the United States. Based on available data, there is not an increased risk for TTS after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
CDC and FDA are monitoring reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in people who have received the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. GBS is a rare disorder where the body’s immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. Most people fully recover from GBS, but some have permanent nerve damage. After more than 13 million J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine doses administered, there have been around 143 preliminary reports of GBS identified in VAERS as of July 30. These cases have largely been reported about 2 weeks after vaccination and mostly in men, many 50 years and older. CDC will continue to monitor for and evaluate reports of GBS occurring after COVID-19 vaccination and will share more information as it becomes available.
Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. As of July 30, 2021, VAERS has received 1,249 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine. Most cases have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults. Through follow-up, including medical record reviews, CDC and FDA have confirmed 716 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis. CDC and its partners are investigating these reports to assess whether there is a relationship to COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis.
Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 346 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 2, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,490 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has cause 3 deaths.

There is a difference between reported deaths and confirmed deaths from the vaccine. it's this type of misinformation that runs rampant amongst the anti vaccine faction.

With the enormous profit being made by big pharma, the greed and corruption is immense. The only way I see of subjugating this is to take profit out of the equation. I would vote to socialize health care.

Not only did I piss off the Liptards but now the Repubtards are going to get enraged.

Infuriating both sides I may have to hightail and disappear from this discussion..

One potentially important effect of mass vaccination (and also observation of measures to reduce transmission) is to lower the probability of the emergence of new variants. I think this issue is key for how the pandemic will go on. There is negative and positive potential in this - chances are new variants that prove successful will have ever better transmission ability (as Delta now) and may at some point not be stopped by vaccination anymore (at least not the vaccination we have now). On the other hand a successful variant may ultimately also be less deadly and more harmless, so that its spread (even if unstoppable) is not much reason for concern anymore. For some reason this hasn't happened up to now, but we can hope...

It is said that this damned thing has begun to threaten China again. Hard to predict how long this nightmare will last.

A comment like this, nowadays, really is unimaginable to me and shows so much ignorance and egoism... How can you say this when you know, or could know, that more and more youngsters die or suffer from more or less severe consequences of Covid? Of course, not in the same proportions as elder people and people with co-mobordities, but yes, young people are among the victims. Furthermore, they play a major role in the contamination of others, so pretending they should live their life as if nothing is going on is sheer selfishness fed by disinformation and ignorance.

Thanks Kees and Nickie. Exactly as you say ... we need to take care of families and friends around us. That's why we should wear masks, not only for ourselves.

Anyway Japan's total number of Covid19 infections surpassed 1 million today, to be sad.

As a parting thought, what were the long term effects of patients that have undergone previous RNA therapies? As far as I know, and I may be wrong, they incurred nothing substantial. But they certainly didn't grow another head.

I think these so-called "long term complications" need some context, which has been sorely missing in this conversation:

In case you haven't noticed I'm not advocating for mandatory vaccinations. This is not the police state that Trump envisioned.

A state that I wouldn't change for all the money in the world. But don't make up facts to support your reasons for doing so.
